Need help with engine size.
I have a 65 F600 with 8 cyl. The first 4 digits of VIN is F60ML. I can not figure out what size engine does it have. I though it was a Y-block 292 but the distributor is mounted in front of the carb. I read that Y-blocks were opposite Thanks for your help

Okhunt; welcome to FTE; I don't have the capablity to decode; but I was told a 312 Y block was dizzy in front; and a 292 Y block in rear. I can vouch for 292; not 100% sure on 312 or even a 272; I recommend, post your comment on the Y block form.
Additionally; look for engine block numbers' should run something like C5AE etc; whatever it is the first digit will be the 10 series ie. C = 1960's the 5= 1965; hope this helps.

8cyl 330Ci 2V Heavy Duty is the engine code M for 65 model year.
It is the smallest Cubic inch FT engine.
3.875 x 3.50 Bore & Stroke with a whopping 7.6 to 1 compression ratio.
186 HP @ 4000 RPM and 300 FP Torque @ 2000 RPM

Ed: There are two 330 FT engines: 330 Medium Duty & 330 Heavy Duty.
These two 330 VIN engine codes were only used in 1964/65: A = 330 M/D / M = 330 H/D
F60ML
F60 = F600 2WD / M = 330 H/D / L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant
